Something About Figs.

Mr.. NJ Kerr, of Santa Barbara, Cal, in
letter to the Florida Dispatch, makes
some interesting points about figs. He says
that he has had considerable experience in
raising figs and states that up to date not
single good variety has been introduced to
California, none at all comparable with the
varieties he has eaten in Italy and Spain.
The Adriatic and San Pedro, so much spoken
of of late, are fair table figs, but when it
comes to drying they are poor and worth
less. The meat is red and on that account
not suitable to dry. The fig pulp puffs up
easily and sours, and the skin, which is thin
enough in the fresh fig, becomes thick and
plant more than one tree of any kind of fig
until the variety is tried and proven good.
A few years ago he planted the seed of the
imported Smyrna fig. Scooping out the
pulp he washed the same in water, thus
separating the seed. These were planted in
shallow boxes, under a canvas cover and
terminated freely. Many of the plants,
however, grew to small trees and bore fruit
for two years. While some of the fruit is
small and poor, many Of the trees bear fine
large figs and some even very fine.
He believes this is the proper way to get
good figs, and rather than buy high-priced
figs, with fine names, he thinks every one
would do better by raising O few seedlings,
which may prove Of great value. Besides,
seedlings raised will always do better than
imported kinds.

Popular Science.

An Austrian electrician, named Marcus.
is supplying the German navy with newly
invented petroleum engine for torpedo boats
The engine is set in motion by electro mag
netism, and is more powerful than steam
engine of the same size.
In the early days of electric lighting Sir
William Siemens declared that il could be
cheaper TO use gas in an engine to drive a
dynamo with which to run electric lights
than to use the gas directly for Illuminating
purposes. In Germany this has been proved
commercially, and in Prague, Austria. an
electric plant for 80 arc lights has been put
up, with three 50-horse power Otto gas en-
gines as the motors.

Rotation in Crops.

All good farmers understand the import
ance Of rotation in crops Those farms are
the most productive and hence the most
profitable on which the rotation system is
followed. The Philadelphia Record, speak
ing on this subject, says that there is no soil
that can be considered as inexhaustible in
fertility. 1t may produce large crops for
many years, but every pound of substance
removed from it takes away so much, and
sooner or later the yield will begin gradu-
ally to lessen. Especially is this true when
the soil has been devoted to one kind of
crop. On the rich soils of the West the land
was kept in corn year after year, with good
yields as the result, but time proved the
error of SO doing. The true mode of culti-
walton is by judicious system of rotation
The soil may fail to produce certain crops
and yet be rich and well adapted to some
other kind. The three great elements of
fertility are nitrogen, Jphosphoric acid and
potash, TO which we may add lime, and as
long as the soil contains these elements it
will be capable of growing any crop suita-
BILE to the climate; but the different crops
do not feed alike, some requiring an excess
of certain elements that are not in demand
to such an extent by others. A crop of wheat
takes away large proportion of nitrogen
and phosphoric acid, but requires smaller
proportion of potash. 1t is plain that by
growing wheat on the land for several years
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid would be
largely reduced in quantity, while the land
would still be rich in potash. By growing
some other crop that thrives best on potash,
as clover, the soil would still be capable of
yielding bountifully, while the roots and
stubble of the clover would return pro-
portion of the nitrogen required for sue
ceeding crop. By rotation, therefore, the
plant food is not only proportioned to diff
ferent crops, but a system of renovation of
the soil is also the result. No matter what
crops may be grown, it cannot be denied
that something cannot be derived from
nothing, and manure and fertilizers are al
ways beneficial; yet the best system is that
which Utilities the storage capacity of the
plants to derive portion of the elements
required from the atmosphere, and rotation
is thus of valuable assistance. The inert
matter of the soil is reduced. to solubility,
the rains assist the roots to store up matter
and the soil is better enabled to supply the
proper food required for each plant.

In estimating the value of manure or fer
tiliZer always take into consideration the
cost of hauling the same to the fields, as
well as the facility with which it can be APP
piled. Very bulky material, though valIl-

worth if hauled long distances or over heavy
ground
Every cord of wood used and converted
into ashes is SO much fertilizer that may be
used on the land. Not only do ashes contain
potash but also phosphoric acid and lime.
If ashes be used freely it only requires
some kind of heterogeneous fertilizer to be adj
ded to the soil to enable the farmer to grow
large crops.

The Georgia Crop Report for May.

The crops in Georgia are considerably
better than the crops of last year were in
May. There is marked increase in the
acreage of food supply crops. The acreage
IN corn is per cent. greater than the aver
age for the previous five years, and the oat
crop is increased IA per cent. above the acre
age of last year. The condition of the work
stock is better than any year since 1883.
The prospect Of the corn crop in COMPARE
son with the average of five years is, in
North Georgia, 101; in Middle Georgia, 81 ;
in Southwest and East Georgia, 93; in
Southeast Georgia. 9s, and in the whole
State, 95. The condition of the crop is four
points better than that of the crop of last
year at this date.
With respect to oats, the condition and
prospect of the crop is nine points better
than was the report of.last yearat this time.
The acreage of wheat agrees with that of
last year, and the prospect in North and
Middle Georgia, to which the crop is mainly
confined, is very much higher than that of
last year at this time.
In the matter of cotton, there has been
little rain since the planting, and in conse-
quence there is only about four-fifths of a
good stand, in the portion of the crop now
up. The prospect, notwithstanding, is re-
ported as high as that of last year at this
date
There is a decided increase in the acreage
OF sugar cane, rice, clover and grasses over
that of last year. This amounts, with sugar
cane, to about 20 per cent, with rice to
about6 per cent, and with clover and grasses
to z per cent.
The peach crop is nearly an entire failure
In North and Middle Georgia In Southern
and Southwest Georgia there is prospect
OF about half crop, and in the other
| southern sections somewhat less than half
crop. The prospect of the apple crop is re-
ported about two-thirds of an average; that
OF the pear about one-third. The prospect
for the grape crop is reported 95 or nearly a
full crop.
In concluding his report the Commissioner
says: while it is gratifying to note an in
crease in the acreage of provision crops and
a general improvement in the condition of
stock, still the reports indicate that some of
our farmers are opening accounts and buy
ing supplies on time thus creating an in
cubus that with even the most propitious
seasons and the most fruitful harvest they

Ashes for Menuring Purposes.

There is a great deal of inquiry about
ashes as manure. The Southern C,tltiva-
tor has this to say about it: ''Ashes from
hard wood contains from to z per cent. of
potash, from a little over l to l 1-2 per cent
Of phosphoric acid, also some magnesia and
good deal of lime. Their value, estimated
like that of commercial fertilizers, is about
80 ton, as it takes about 40 bushels to
make ton; the above is equivalent to 81

a good manure for any crop, especially
when largely diluted with some good form

to be used in drill unmixed with anything.

much potash and phosphoric acid as wood

tionately greater. But they are so very

Of them lest they do more harm than good.

Manuring Plants.

a correspondent of the Southern Guilt
ootor says that after mixing soil with the
manure about half and half, it should be
urawn around the plants so as TO cover the
stems to the same height rs formerly, but
no higher Ut is great mistake to draw
sou around the stems of plants with view
vi forcing roots from parts where nature
never Intended there should be any. Even
When transpianted the stems of no kind OF
pants should be set deeper in the soil than
'ney originally grew Thus arranged, the
manure will act far better than il would if
,eit IN body, which is mainly attributable
10 The fact that the soil is rendered porous
oy mixing the manure Herewith, thus per-
mittlng the carbonic acid gas of the atmos-
paere more readily to penetrate TO the roots
:, The plants. Said gas being an important
sement in the production Of plants, the soil
should be well stirred soon after each rain,
SuT preventing the formation Of n crust.
Inc mixing of soil with the manure will
prevent plants from firing in time of dry
weather, thus obviating the usual bad eff
, ,ects OF fresh manure when used in body.
Al iact, unrotted manure mixed with soil
possesses all the advantages of well-rotted
anu being far preferable in procuring an
.uily stand, its use is recommended for the
purposes aforesaid.
